I have knitted blue back for one certain jacket. Nora, it is not the white one, this blue one is the...You should see, I can not explain. And I believe I can show you when the time is right. But it is not here yet. So...knitting has happened. And one pink square should put on its way over the...

I've been asking myself the question "what is thrill". But, the only way to work that out is to ask "what do people find thrilling?"; an anecdotal rather than scientific approach. So here I am, asking the same question in the crafts scene. After a little searching, I came up with the following...

If you don't see me for awhile, it's because I'll be out of town for nearly a month. DH and I had a vacation planned for next week, to travel to KS and MO to see his father and my mother. A couple of weeks ago I found out that my Mom has scheduled her knee surgery for the 27th (the Monday...

Hi folks, I just thought I'd let you know that fact. Guess What??.. I have opened up my knitting "office" and performed the following tasks... Chosen the shape garment I want (remember that I am a Machine Knitter - so I use a Knitradar and draw the style I want) Chosen the stitch pattern Chosen...

I found this pattern on the web, my mom got me a pair of these slippers years and years, they are the best.. When I got them I told her they would fit me. they looked about like baby bootiies, but they give, and are comfortable, and cushie.. when you wash them they go right back to shape, and you...

Hi all Figured I would let you all know that EmLynn and I were able to meet today at the Creative Sewing and Needlework Festival here in Toronto today. It was nice meeting another member so now am going to develop a spreadsheet to record who I've met and when. Darlene in...

Folks, I'm just passing through this newsgroup - I'll try to encourage my girlfriend to use these newsgroups as we'd not found one that was 'yarn' related before now... I'm a techie and tend to surf other non-yarn related groups but I'm giving this a go to help my girlfriend keep her...

Well, I went to the mail today, and what did I find? I received a wonderful envelope from Els! Not only did she send me the stranding and weaving techniques info, but she sent me a kumihimo kit! Such neat colours too! What a treat! I know what I'll be doing tonight. (grinning from ear to ear)...

Hello all new and would-be sockknitters... just a quick note, there is a great article with lots of advice for newbie sockknitters entitled: Socks 101 in: Knit 'n Style, December 2003 issue. The article is by Pat Harste, and she starts out by saying: Don't get cold feet thinking about knitting...

Pijo received your squares thank you. They are almost 8 x 8 but that's fine I can use them for something. REally nice color........thanks again Jacqueline -- Take a few minutes and check out my Web Page http://www.geocities.com/jacqbutt/HarbourViewCrafts.html

I have this Very Clever Project idea. But it wants a lot of yarn buttons. A lot of lot of buttons. On the order of 350 of 'em. Being a poor student (with limited patience for individually-packaged items), I'm not really willing to buy 350 $1 buttons. There are those 'pound-packs' you can get in...

I've finally managed to get a couple of shots of my boy wearing his Wallaby. For those of you who have made this, what do you think of picking up stitches from the inside, say just below the bottom of the placket, and knitting in a second layer that doubles as a turtleneck type thing? Yesterday...

I've been searching for a company/retailer that makes or sells flesh colored 4 ply worsted yarn, without success. Any help in locating this product would be appreciated, or any suggestions on what brand/color can be substituted for flesh color.

I wonder if anyone knows what the going rate is for cashmere yarn. I have seen 120 yds in local shops for $23.00 (US). What would a really good deal be for a baby hat, something rather fine, maybe 20 sts. to a 4"/10cm?

I don't have my great wheel reassembled, but man oh man, did Bill do a good job overhauling the old girl. He had to drill the spokes and re-peg them with dowels, and told me he had to put the wheel in his steambox with weights on it to bring it back into something resembling true so it would quit...

I've died and gone to heaven!! Our national TV network - CBC - had a wonderful program on tonight - it was the highlights of the Brit Classical Music awards. They didn't show the actual awards themselves, but some of the wonderful stars making music...... and lucky me - what with having satellite...
